In before someone cuts and pastes that roster rundown from a few years ago.

I do know that the lower-level guys (i.e. Gregroy Helms) make a pretty modest amount after you weigh in travel expenses. They pay for their own flights and hotel rooms pretty often, so the guys pulling in low 6-figures gross end up with considerably less net.

Jericho for instance is on a 1mil downside guarantee add in ppv, tv, house show appearences on top plus bonuses for carrying a belt and a percentage of merchandise sales and hed be on a really good wage.

i dont think randy orton is even making a mill a year so i KNOW jericho cant be,i know i'm not gonna pay a guy 1 million a year just to job him to everybody

lol, they gave Big Show a 10 year, $1m per year contract in 1999, why is it such a stretch to think Jericho cant command the same money now, when hes much more valuable to the company?

At 5 reps a day, this will take a while! Plus Im not on every day, but I'll still get through this..

big show was a world champion who they thought was gonna be the next andre in terms of drawing power,not to mention he had went over on hulk hogan and was a hogan disciple

and....vince has hard on for big guys

all jericho can really do is have a good match,he isn't gonna draw any big money or even sell any merchandise,he isn't worth a mil a year

Yeah, Vince always said "WCW has no idea how to book a giant" then Vince himself proved that neither did he

If you think Jericho is not a draw and doesnt sell merchandise then I dont know what to tell you.

I always thought it was funny that after convincing Show that he couldn't be booked well in WCW, we saw Show hit the ring to Hogan's theme in the Red and Yellow during his "he's big, but he likes to have fun!" gimmick... oh lawd

hell he doesnt even have any merch out now does he? and he hasnt had any since he turned heel on shawn michaels

In Jericho's book (which I don't have in front of me) he said he made at least double his guarantee, sometimes triple during his first run. Dude is definitely bringing way more than a million home a year.

I think people really underestimate how much guys get paid. Orton made 600,000 at Wrestlemania 25 for his match with HHH. I think someone like The Miz or Punk, who work most PPV's have to be pulling in a million (when you figure in PPVs, merch, etc...). Guys get a guarantee contract, so you could get 200,000 and never work a PPV. But if you work a few PPVs including the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania, your making quite a few bucks. During a shoot (forgot who) someone said Wrestler X (some low card guy) made 7,500 for just being in the Royal Rumble match and being in their briefly nonetheless.

oh you mean the attitude era aka the most profitable era in wrestling history?

with only 1 REAL major company i doubt guys can pull the whole "if you dont pay me x amount i'll go to wcw" line anymore,do you really think vince is just throwing millions around like that? especially with ratings at a low not seen since what? 1995? with houses half full and business generally overall being down

i doubt somebody who isnt drawing houses OR selling merch is pulling a million a year,i dont even think rey mysterio is making that and he OBVIOUSLY has some pull

don't make it seem like i don't like jericho,he's one the few guys on raw that i like watching and who seems to be smart enough to realize that you have to make NEW stars for business to continue as it should and i know he's probably making real good money,but i just dont think he's making a million a year

actually wwes rating have been pretty much consistent since 2003 and much higher than 1995, 1995-mid 1997 raw was doing low 2s, sometimes 1s. as for business generally overall being down, thats not true because wwe are pulling in more money now than anytime during the attitude era

jericho isn't stupid, he didn't have to come back to wwe, he had a band, could have easily got a job on tv and had made big money during his last run, he wasn't going to come back for low-pay

He has a shirt in the best sellers on wweshop.com so your entire sentence is false.

What houses have a Jericho match drawn? Well to be fair no one draws a house on their own so I wont be answering that
